Up your school marks in Pascal

Taryn Pods (15) registered for the K-Net Pascal programming course for teenagers who are talking computer science as a school subject. The course covers the Std 8 Computer Science curriculum and includes practical program writing.

"K-Net has taught me just about everything I know about computers, and I thank them very much for this. I am achieving amazing results for computer studies at school, thanks to the Turbo Pascal course that they have.

When I arrived at K-Net for my first course, I was very nervous as I didn't know anyone. I was met with friendly faces and many smiles. I settled in immediate. I learned how to work in Windows, how to scan, print in colour properly and work in Microsoft Office. I enjoyed working in Windows 95 so much so that I want to work in it more often. So I went out and bought it.

The next course was a tough one but I enjoyed it all the same. The Building and Repairing PCs course was very detailed. It was great because we had Gerry as our mentor. There was never a dull moment. I was the only girl in the course but the other guys didn't seem to mind. The course that I am currently on is Turbo Pascal for Std 8. I have learned so much, and am so grateful for all the help. I understand the subject so much better."
